Im going to my local reptile expo on June 22 and hoping they have newts! Ive been looking into spanish ribbed newts and fire bellieds. It such a hard decision though.. I want them in my 29 gallon.. I will have a turtle dock an i will take this ish out.. The current substrate is sand but i would be willing to change it.. I think i'll just want one spanish ribbe or two fire bellies.. Can the species mix? Also, if they dont have any at the expo, does anyone know if backwaterreptiles is a good place to order them? Thanks! (Sorry if this is confusing, im new to all this!)

You might have to be happy with whatever you find at the expo, the most likely thing they'll have is axolotls. Is it the Hamburg expo? Then see M. Shrom's table. Or keep reading the "For Sale" ads here.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
